Check and make sure the hose clamps are tight if they are than the hoses themselves are probably cracked and will need replaced also make sure that the filter has not rusted causing a hole and resulting in a leak. To relieve the pressure put a small container directly under the filter and loosen one of the clamps holding the hose onto the filter fuel will leak into the container the filter itself will probably drain out as well.
Try using a pry bar to break it loose. It's probably stuck due to surface rust and road grime. I had to do that to ours on our first flat. It takes some convincing to come down. I just kicked it hard; I didn't have a pry bar.
Tire that was flat was on pass side front? Have you tried to drive it? When jacked up to change wheel, it won't turn if the other is on the ground. Hope it's that simple. If not, I'll try to help further.
It is underneath the van at the back. Open the rear hatch door and look for a little piece of carpet cut in a square on the right side. Lift that and there should be a bolt there that you can turn with the tire wrench. That will lower the tire.

With the new 2008 models, the spare tire was moved from the rear of the van to a spot below the front seats. The lug for the tire winch is located under a round cover in the floor just in front of and between the two front seats. If you look under the van, you will see the black tire-shaped cover for the spare.
Take the jack handle and stick it through the hole in the bumper (tailgate open) near the latch. it will engage a manual crank - lower it down to the ground and un-hook)
Check the large hose leaving the brake power booster (under the hood, directly in front of where the driver sits, large round diaphragm). That hose will run into the top of your engine, it may be off, or the hose may be cracked.
does the van shake or vibrate? does the van have tires on it ?start by switching the left rear with the right rear test drive and listen for soun if no sound then the tire has a bad steel belt replace tire if the sound is still present. jack up van and spin tire if no sound is heard replace wheel bearing and if there is still a sound look into brake drum for possible springs or clips that may have fallen into drum causing noise but i would say its more than likely the rear wheel bearing to change that u must buy a new bearing and follow instructions on replacing good
